Why do small kites JUMP HIGHER? How strong is 60 knots?!

Why do small kites jump higher? Sure, we already know they’re faster! But why can’t we just take an 18m kite in 30 knots and jump just as high as we jump on a 7m in 40 knots? In this video I try my best to break down how LIFT works, keeping it simple, informative and still keeping you entertained! I also give you solid takeaway advice to help you jump higher than ever before! Nyeowww! ⚡❤️
